ARE YOUR FEET CAUSING YOUR BACK PAIN? When your foot hits the ground, your whole body feels the effect. Imagine in your car if your shock absorbers were wornout.Youwouldfeeleverybumpand joltfrom theroad. Your feetand legsaremuch thesameway.Thegreater the impact of your step, the more impact it has on your body.
Sometimes our legs are not quite the same length due to jointreplacementsorarthriticconditions in theankle,knee, or hip. Even small differences may cause back or leg pain. Asmallheel liftcanoftenchangesymptomsdramatically. Many times tightness in the ankle can also contribute to back pain. When the ankle joint is tight, this essentially makes that leg “longer”whichcancause thespine tocurve slightly and result in back and leg pain. Your feet and legs need to be able to support the rest of your body during walking tasks. We will evaluate your leg and foot strength and mobility and focus on improving the muscles that are weak and stretching those that are tight. This in turn will allow you to walk with better form and help to eliminate back pain. If we find that you need some type of modification to your shoes or inserts we will make those recommendations as well. We want to look at everything that can be contributing to your back pain, not just your back. This can be done under the guidance and expertise of our physical therapists at Eastern Shore Physical Therapy.
